Personally i would have said rafa out of the three at present,Djokovic has the extra day rest as well ,love Murray to win it,think Agassi lost a fair few before getting his maiden and Andy still so young.
Murray forgets to turn up for his final
I couldn't bear to watch it beyond the second set.
I know he's still young but you have to wonder if he'll ever win a major after that gutless and passionless performance
[cite]Posted By: Six-a-bag-of-nuts[/cite]that gutless and passionless performance
thats well harsh. djokovic didnt allow murray to play how he can. think djokovic won it rather than murray lost it.
Considering that it was arguably his best chance of a slam yet, I saw no evidence of fire in his belly.
He whinged and whined to himself; his whole body language seemd to say "loser".
Harsh? Maybe, but that's the way I saw it.
Credit to Djokovic, he was awesome.
I'm not saying Murray should have won, but he never looked like he believed he could.
And if, as you imply, Djokoviv can dismantle his game that easily - then there are now at least 3 major barriers to a grand slam victory for Murray

Djokovic was completely focused on the job in hand whereas Murray allowed extraneous factors like the tension of his racket strings to get to him. It was always going to be tough even without such a distraction and at that level the margins are so slim that a distraction of that nature makes a big difference. How can one of the top 5 players in the world, in arguably the biggest match of his life, be so ill prepared that he did not have rackets ready strung for all contingencies?
He was in sulky Jock mode from the off though. None of the aggressive posing which he seems to need to do to play well.
He is still young enough to win a Grand Slam but after today's effort I seriously question whether or not he has the requisite mental strength.
That's not harsh that's the sort of incompetence Charlton regularly displayed in the relegation season under Pardew when the likes of Lloyd Sam and others fell over like Bambi on ice because they wore the wrong studs.

Id fancy Murray against Fed - but Djokovic and Rafa have the edge on Murray
Didn't see one Union Flag in the crowd............

Underwhelming.

Although to a certain extent, I agree that Murray's body language was terrible. He looks beaten before he starts.

Hahaha
If I was him, I'd make sure I employed the best sports psychologist in the world.
That's some defeat - I couldn't have done much worse and I've never played tennis in my life.
look who coaches Federer
look who coaches Novak
look who coached Murray when he won Wimbledon
all top quality players in their own right
